[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 1022387, member: 45355"] First up, Welcome to the forum and the sport! looking at stats is hard as different teams have different games plans that will skew those stats for example, the All Blacks have for several years had a game plan based around the fact they believe they will always have superior fitness/skills. their game plans therefore i happy to kick away possession and wait for or try and force a mistake from the opposition....and then counter attack. OR, they'll be happy for keep the score close for 3/4 of the match planning on having more gas in the tank for the final 20min so if you look at the stats for these games the AB's will quite possibly have less possession and territory and more tackles...but still win the game in the end the only stat that REALLY matters is the score, the rest are kind of interesting at best [/QUOTE]
